News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyMarch 8th, 2012
The revision came out this morning, but at the time I didn’t know who was new and who wasn’t among the now 26 hate anti-gay hate groups. Based on this cache from archive.org, these are the additions:
The San Diego-based Biblical Family Associates is no longer on the list this year. It appears to be inactive. Sandy, Utah-based America Forever has also been dropped after reportedly disbanding in 2010.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.
Prologue: Why I Went To “Love Won Out”
Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes
Part 5: A Candid Explanation For "Change"
At last, the truth can now be told.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Glad to see that Randy Thomasson’s hate group has finally been added to the list. Better late than never…

Randy Thomasson’s Sacramento-based “Rescue California” has been rather quiet this year, with only two press releases since the death by suicide of Jeffrey Fehr in Granite Bay (a Sacramento suburb) in January. About THAT, he has said nothing.
I’m enjoying the silence from him very much indeed.

I assumed Linda Harvey was already on it.

I had thought she was already on it also, but as of last July she wasn’t.

I’ll miss America Forever. They were like the Phelps clan – so unglued and crazy that they invariably shot themselves in the foot and made homophobes fear they’d end up just like them.
The LGBT community never had a more unwitting frenemy.
I’ll particularly miss their home made, misspelled signs and insane outfits.

So, I’m guessing this will undoubtedly be featured in one of those mass emails from Eugene Delgaudio? You know, the ones that say somehow, your ten or twenty bucks will help him deal with this issue and expose his enemies. Of course, since his enemies only exist in his own head I have no idea how he’d actually do that, but while he’s figuring out how to hit paydirt on that he can live off your money.

Huh. I saw that name, You Can Run But You Cannot Hide, in a story about a Christian band that was invited to a high school, where they essentially pressed their rather extreme views onto the audience.

I enjoy getting Delgaudio’s missives so that I can read them and piss myself laughing…although, sadly, he appears to have what is called a “nice little earner” there…he apparently makes over $1m a year from his apocalyptic appeals.
